a little food blog
A meal made up of appetizers is one of my favorite ways to eat. Here you'll find some tasty appetizer recipes to enjoy at any occasion – from watching the big game, mingling at a holiday party, or enjoying a summer barbecue. Take a look around, and enjoy a bite or two.
After what feels like a whirlwind month, I am looking forward to watching some football this weekend. Truth be told, I am probably looking forward to a plate of nachos and pint of beer while I watch some games, but given this is food blog, I suppose that comes as no big surprise. If nachos are not your game day food of choice, don't worry. A few blogger friends and I have come up with some fun foods to add to your game day spread. We really love our dips, pepperoni pizza creations, and ...
With the football season coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about how depressing the rest of the winter will be. No, that doesn't sound quite right. With the football season coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about NASCAR. No? How about hockey? Shall we forget sports all together and start planning a vacation? Spring break 2017, here we come! Whoooo! Before we get to all that, we need to think about the Big Game. More specifically, the bites and brews that will ...
I could make a meal out of appetizers, but I rarely order them at a restaurant. In fact, I just paused for about five minutes to consider what appetizers I do order. Most recently, I ate wontons. I sometimes crave spring rolls. This post is not an advertisement for a restaurant, but the Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish Grill call my name when I walk through its doors. Maybe I like appetizers because most of them are just giant-sized snacks. Nachos, quesadillas, chicken fingers.... As someone ...
Stuffed with cellophane noodles, shrimp, carrots, and cucumbers, these healthy spring rolls are a nice appetizer or light meal. Although it is clearly not spring, yesterday, I made spring rolls. Wishful thinking? I started thinking of spring rolls last weekend when I happened to catch a Pioneer Woman episode about new recipes to make from Thanksgiving leftovers. Those spring rolls were stuffed with turkey and obviously not the more traditional version here, but I started with the ...
As I closed in on my first year of blogging, I thought it would be fun to make up a menu of five Mexican-style dishes to post on the five days leading up to Cinco de Mayo. The planning was fun, but the cooking and the photographing and the actual posting process itself...well, that part turned out to be not so fun. Yet three Cinco de Mayo's later, I continue my little tradition. Even though I know it is not going to be all that fun, I still enjoy collecting recipes and cobbling together these ...
I typically dread the end of summer. I mean dread it. Don't get me wrong, I like the crisp autumn air and beautifully colored leaves and the excitement of football season. But by the end of the season when the sun leaves the sky at what seems like mid-afternoon and the trees are stripped bare and I have to trade my bare feet and flip flops for boots, well, I could forget about all that and skip right back towards spring. This year, for whatever reason, I seem to be embracing it a bit better. ...
